spinoff to prenatals question ...

We will be starting in a month, which means I will be on my pill until then.

Since they say you should start taking prenatals a few months prior to trying, would it be weird if I took the prenatals WHILE I finish my last month of pills? (seems weird to take prentals while on the pill) Chat Icon But it can't hurt, right?

Re: spinoff to prenatals question ...

I took it one day and didnt feel so good (it was probably just all in my head lol)... so I just decided to take my One-A- Day and didnt take the extra folic acid pill until I was off the pill.

Did your doc give you prenatals or you going to get some over the counter?

Good Luck!!!! Chat Icon

I would definitely start taking them now. I think the reason they say to start taking them before you actually start trying is so you build up the folic acid in your system a little bit. If it bothers your stomach, try taking it right before you go to bed.

Re: spinoff to prenatals question ...

my doctor said it was actually good for all women in their "childbearing" years to be taking them...
they are so good for you!

I started taking them months before we started TTC. Def start taking them now. It's just a vitamin - no harm in taking them before TTC. They've done WONDERS for my hair and nails.
